Haven’t bought stuff from sbux in the last few months because of their union busting and DEI rollbacks. Seems like it was the right choice.

The LLM told me that control rods were not necessary, so it must be true

If everyone is on a watchlist, nobody is

You mean the Gulf of Mexico?

Free-to-play is just a ploy for future value extraction.

I typically go out of my way to avoid F2P games. I’d rather pay once for a game, rather than be stuck with a live service that constantly nags about subscriptions or microtransactions.

Some constructive ass-kissing?

Neither is putting random system files/folders in the C: drive outside of where they need to be, like in the Windows folder

Another possible explanation from Hanlon’s razor: MS is going all-in on vibe coding

Sounds like the OS is put together with duct tape if deleting an empty folder can break things so easily

I’m still learning how to use it as well, but the basic methodology is to lookup the github page for the app you want to install and add the app to Obtanium using that github link. This is where f-droid comes in handy for finding github pages. Default settings are usually good enough if you don’t know what they do.

I’ve been told that its unnecessary to use the App Verifier to check apps installed through github, but you can still do it if the SHA signature is available on their github.

I use Obtanium since it’s apparently more secure than f-droid. F-droid is still a good place to search for FOSS and privacy-respecting apps. For anything that I can’t install through Obtanium, I’ll use the Play Store.

I bet they’ll be going after black churches first

Whales will pay for it, yeah

Call it what you will, but all signs seem to indicate that generative AI is simply not as profitable as the evangelists want it to be.

Dang, I forgot all about the Internet Hippo since leaving X for Mastodon

Any bets on how long it lasts? I’d give it a month before trump starts threatening their sovereignty again

People find the threat of economic and legal sanctions to be pretty compelling motivators. Take those away and see how many pay their taxes.
